They worked for me! Your mileage may vary on larger models...

Legit point. I'll get better on the next one. Thanks!

That bad? Oof.

​@@jasonalwaysreadyyt Disagree with Mike. That model looks really nice. The heavy, rusty weathered look gives a unique touch. I reckon that since this heavy weathering is not the way GW paints, some fans may see this as too much but this is exactly how I imagine vehicles would look like after long battles.

@Hannah11876 thanks! Very kind! I agree with you, there's nothing clean about the grim dark future, and weathering is fun!

Thank you!

Yeah, I have some coming. Also some miliput putty to fill. Thanks,

I needed an instrumental. So, meh. :) Thanks for watching!

Oof, sorry.

Haha, i do all the constructing, filming and painting, shes got the hard part. :)

@@jasonalwaysreadyyt Haha awesome. I am basing my Tau as fighting near and in a hive city, dark green as their primary colour. Lots of cork board and asphalt, planning how to have my Ghostkeels tepping up onto a roadway right now... I was hoping the leg would be a liiiittle more poseable.

Oil washes are the real game changer for me. I would recommend a light gloss varnish before applying and odorless mineral spirits. And thanks!

Gloss works best for layers, then i do a matte coat to finish

Thanks. Yes, the tamiya works well. Though im moving toward all oil washes now. I tried enamel washes but i like oil the best!

@@jasonalwaysreadyyt I have some winsor and newton oils I need to try out still. I really want to get some of those abeltung ones, or whatever they are called though. They're supposed to be really good quality oil paints. I seen AK sell a wooden box with the whole set in, so tempting to get it. I'm a sucker for nice boxes. LoL. My windsor ones are called "winton oil colour" so they probably aren't the nicest ones, but the proper artist ones cost so much. Do you know if the winton oil colour is good enough for doing oil washes?

@@D00M3R_MAVS i dont. I just use bob ross brand. I think if it says artist quality it should be fine. Have fun!

@@jasonalwaysreadyyt Thanks. Yeah dude I think this is there cheaper version, but I know people do use it for oil washes. it's definitely on the cheaper end for oils though. it's likely about as cheap as you would want to go, being a cheaper line of a good brand like w&n. Not sure if we have the Bob Ross ones in the UK. probably get them online though. The Abeiltung ones are supposed to be really good. I think AK makes makes them.

Maybe a bit, but with a clear coat and mineral spirits to remove, you should be good to go. Less aggressive removal can leave the staining you are looking for, or dont clear coat

Similar but different. Nuln oil is a wash that is sometimes slathered everywhere on a model. A panel liner is made for panel lines and crevices, will usually look better tidy. Nuln oil is a wash that is acrylic based and will have a softer effect. Panel liner is oil(?) based and will be opaque and bold. Nuln oil cleans up and can be modified with water. Panel liner will need a solvent base to remove and clean. Happy painting!

If i was a better painter and used thinner paints over many layers, the zenithal would help provide a more eye and light pleasing gradient to the model. If you are painting a mostly white model and are not pro, you could probably skip the initial black spray. Thanks for watching!

Glad to hear it! Looking forward to putting mine on the board for 10th.

I think Amazon, but could have been a local shop.

I recommend it highly! I bought a little kit with a drill included so I knew I would have the right size.

Haha, no problem at all. Flattered. Thanks!

Thanks! I loved painting all these monsters!

gracias, me encanta ese programa

Thank you! I prefer working with larger models. There were more techniques I wanted to try, on to the next one... some day. :)

I agree! That's why even shadowsun got the viorla treatment from me, thanks for watching!

In this case, I wanted to try out the oil paints. I certainly could have used the panel liner, but on a larger model I think it's more efficient to use oil. Oil paints also let you have more control over color. It depends on the effect you want to go for. Most people just use nuln oil! I like to try something new on each model.

I'm not sure. I had 2 hours of footage and probably painted twice more over that at least. I'd estimate 6-10 hours. I like painting bigger models a lot better. Thanks for watching!

I'm not sure which tool you mean? what's the timestamp that you see it at?

@@jasonalwaysreadyyt I am so sorry, I watched so many of your videos in one sitting, I got them mixed up. I was thinking about this: czcams.com/video/QmEZydRMgZA/video.html

@@balazskovacs5753 no problem at all! That is Tamiya panel liner and the brush comes attached to the lid of the bottle. It works great.

I would recommend a gloss before. It will probably be mostly ok but it can stain. Same for using oil pants for panel lining. I regret not clear coating before on most models I've done. Also, a q-tip is aggressive, try to use the makeup foam based ones if you can.

I'll have to think about that, what do you mean?

@@jasonalwaysreadyyt Kinda hard to explain, but I feel like the simple armour panels and smooth surfaces of the tau show imperfections in paint jobs too much (where paints overlap, uneven coats etc.), so this method looks much better on more detailed models like adeptus mechanicus for example. The end result you got is still really good, just the method doesn't suit Tau that much.

@@Pughhead you're probably right. Tau are a bit cleaner than the others. And white paint shows everything. :|

Seems kinda rude. Cheers anyways!

Thanks! There's probably more to come... :)

Noted! Turning on the closed captioning might help, too. Thanks for watching.

You're welcome. Glad that it was helpful!

Thanks!

That would for sure be the optimal choice.

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I know!

Thanks! Enamel is not hard. The parallel shot idea is to keep the video shorter. You don't need to see every brush stroke to tell the story. Thanks for watching!

Haha, the bigger models are a lot easier on my eyes, too. THANKS!

Thanks! I paint a lot more than I play. Unfortunately, the next upload won't be tau... but tau will be making a comeback after, just in time for the new codex! (Maybe). Thanks for watching!

@@jasonalwaysreadyyt Ooo, can't wait! When does the new codex come out?

Sounds like jan/Feb 2022. Not long!

Thinning more means more layers to get opaque. It's tough to get it just right sometimes. Thanks for watching!

I didn't, but you might have better results if you do. It may stain the paint a little, even after it's cleaned up.

@@jasonalwaysreadyyt Thank you. I will try without as I don't want to spray all miniature back an forth ( gloss/mat).

@@Wallensteinwojtek I think it's fine if you make it a light coat. Report back your results!

It is certainly grungy. I experimented and think it came out ok. I'll try something different next time.. thanks for watching!

Hey man , i deffo think it was worth it! Just not what im brave enough to do 😂 look forward to more videos!

My sister in law provided a nice little mashup, thanks for watching!

I'm a secret weeb. :O but I like the aesthetic and the gundams. I also better liked the idea of a gun line army, so I have big hopes on a new codex. :D

Not exactly sure what you mean, but I think you're referring to the Tamiya panel line accent color. Otherwise leave a timestamp and I can try to answer more!

@@jasonalwaysreadyyt sorry I meant what did you use to apply the panel line colour. Cheers

@@krowkhan5621 oh, it comes with the panel liner, Attached to cap. Pointy and convenient.

@@jasonalwaysreadyyt o hahah i love how easy it looks to apply. thanks for getting back to me so quick, also you models look great keep up the good work!

@@krowkhan5621 it is easy! But be neat. It cleans up mostly without staining with white spirits.

That's my favorite part. I'm going to try be more bold than bits of mud and rocks on a base. Some of my latest models use sprue for fenceposts.

I try my best to keep it entertaining, thanks!

I know! I saw someone else do it and I couldn't resist trying it out. I'll bring it back on the next one... thanks for watching!

большое спасибо. Мне нравится Tau

Thanks! Not all of them got this level of effort. The panel liner is great, best with a dull cote before you use it and clean up with white spirits. Definitely darker than something like nuln oil.

Yes and yes. But I would clean up the liner with white spirits instead of painting over it.
